Holiness refers to being set apart for God's purposes, reflecting His purity and moral perfection. Righteousness involves living in accordance with God's standards and commands. In the Old Testament, these concepts are central to the Law given to Israel, emphasizing a life dedicated to God (<a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>). The New Testament continues this theme, with believers called to live holy lives through the power of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>). The life of Jesus Christ exemplifies perfect holiness and righteousness, serving as the ultimate model for believers.<p><b>before Him</b><br>This phrase underscores the idea of living in the presence of God, acknowledging His omnipresence and sovereignty. In the biblical context, living "before Him" implies a life of accountability and transparency to God. The patriarchs, such as Abraham, were called to walk before God and be blameless (<a href="/genesis/17.htm">Genesis 17:1</a>). The New Testament reiterates this call, encouraging believers to live lives pleasing to God, aware that they are always in His sight (<a href="/hebrews/4-13.htm">Hebrews 4:13</a>). This awareness motivates a life of integrity and devotion.<p><b>all the days of our lives</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the lifelong commitment expected of believers. The call to holiness and righteousness is not temporary or conditional but is to be pursued throughout one's entire life. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and His people, as seen in the Old Testament, where Israel was called to be faithful to God perpetually (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a>). In the New Testament, the perseverance of the saints is a key theme, with believers encouraged to remain steadfast in their faith until the end (<a href="/matthew/24-13.htm">Matthew 24:13</a>).
